[edit] Re: Category:Cricketers
Thanks for your message, Portnadler. I'm not sure what the right answer is though. Can I suggest you ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket? I'm sure some people there will have an opinion. Stephen Turner (Talk) 17:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brown
There was a new article title Ernest S. Brown that looked like a school report or something, with some confusion over the name, so I put a merge on it. But it was actually copyvio of a Brown biography from another site, so it got deleted. Thanks for pointing that out; I removed the merge tag.--ragesoss 20:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Ernest_William_Brown.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ernest_William_Brown.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

[edit] Vandalism on Retrograde (disambiguation)
I presume the current contents of Retrograde (disambiguation) are work in progress. If so, I'll leave it to you to remove the vandalism. --Portnadler 10:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the vandalism but no, I hadn't actually intended that to be a work in progress. The Rod (☎ Smith) 17:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Foucault pendulum
Hi Portnadler,
I have noticed that you take an interest in planetary mechanics and the subject of precession.
I have recently completed a major addition to the Foucault pendulum article. The information that I added has been published in peer reviewed articles, but since the information that I have added is relatively unknown, some people may be surprised by what they read.
Can you please check out the article? Best case scenario would be that your finding is that the information is correct, that newtonian mechanices has been applied correctly, and that you endorse the article. Worst case scenario would be that you disagree with my additions. I'll take my chances, I want to get some action going. --Cleonis | Talk 09:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From 2006 Atlantic hurricane season
[edit] Should Zeta be here?
There seems to be something of an edit war going on about whether Tropical Storm Zeta (2005) should be included here. IMHO, it was part of the 2005 season, so it shouldn't. However, a compromise might be to have a placeholder with a link to the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season on this page. --Portnadler 09:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Please look at the archives. We've had this discussion for AGES, and consensus is that a small section remains. I've removed the section at the main talk page and archived it because there is no need to re-ignite the whole stink. – Chacor 10:35, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is true. It got bad enough that it was added to WP:LAME. There is a constant fear that it could reignite anytime a new member joins in to the tropical cyclone wikiproject. Semantic arguments are the worst. Thegreatdr 21:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Zola Budd
Hi, I believe from the history page that you sourced the picture for the article on Zola Budd.
I attempted to find the original on the www.iaaf.org website to see if it too was corrupted (see my comments here), but I was unable to find it.
Would you mind assisting?
